Abstract: Two striking empirical facts represent a starting point of the discussion: (i) vertical temperature profile in a thermocline, a region of supercritical stability adjoining a mixed layer, proves to be self-similar in a ...

Abstract: wo recently proposed turbulence closure schemes are compared against the conventional Mellor?Yamada (MY) model for stably stratified atmospheric flows. The Energy- and Flux-Budget (EFB) approach solves the budgets of ...

Abstract: ospectral budgets are used to link the kinetic and potential energy distributions of turbulent eddies, as measured by their spectra, to macroscopic relations between the turbulent Prandtl number (Prt) and atmospheric ...

Abstract: This paper presents a turbulence closure for neutral and stratified atmospheric conditions. The closure is based on the concept of the total turbulent energy. The total turbulent energy is the sum of the turbulent kinetic ...
